ABSTRACT

Human resource management is indispensably the basis of all management activities, and it is a means of making things happen through people in a productive way so that the organisation can fulfill its mission and goals. It is the organisational function that deals with issues related to people such as hiring, compensation, performance management, organisation development, safety, wellness, benefits, employee motivation, communication, administration and training. Human resource management is also a strategic and comprehensive approach to managing people and the workplace culture and environment. Effective Human Resource Management enables employees to contribute effectively and productively to the overall organisation direction and the accomplishment of the organisations goals and objectives. It is no secret that the way in which entities operate and engage with each other, locally, nationally and internationally, will be profoundly influenced by the factors that are rapidly gaining attention with respect to the activities of human resource management. If not well managed, human resource management can result into disaster.
